Free mp3 tracks software for linux

Mp3tag is an Objective-Caml library which can be used in other tools to read, write or graphically edit tags (v1 or v2) in mp3 files.

mp3tag library comes with the mp3tag and cddbtag example tools.

The mp3tag tool included can be used to modify tags in mp3 files, or rename files according to tags.

The cddbtag tool included can be used to modify tags in mp3 files, by using a CDDB server to get artist, album and tracks corresponding to the given mp3 files.

The mp3tag tool

The mp3tag tool included can be used to modify tags in mp3 files, or rename files according to tags. Here are some examples of usage:
mp3tag file_1.mp3 ... file_n.mp3

Print tags of the given files.

mp3tag -a "Les Cowboys Fringants" -l "Attache ta tuque" *.mp3

Set artist and album tags in all mp3 files of the current directory.

mp3tag -a "Les Cowboys Fringants" -l "Attache ta tuque" -t "Toune dautomne" -n 11 -g 102 file.mp3

Set artist, album, title, track number and genre tags in file.mp3.

mp3tag -e file_1.mp3 ... file_n.mp3

Graphically edit tags in each given file.

mp3tag -r file_1.mp3 ... file_n.mp3

Rename the given files according to their tags, with the default name format.

mp3tag -r -f 1 file_1.mp3 ... file_n.mp3

Rename the given files according to their tags, with the predefined format "1".

mp3tag --formats

Print the list of predefined renaming formats.

mp3tag -F "%n - %t" file_1.mp3 ... file_n.mp3

Rename the given files according to their tags with the given format. Here, each file will be renamed as < track number > - < title >.mp3. Where to use values of tags in a format is specified by %a, %t, %l, %n, %g, %c, %y.

mp3tag --copy -t "Le plombier" file1.mp3 file2.mp3

Copy tags from file1.mp3 to file2.mp3, but with a different title tag.

The cddbtag tool

The cddbtag tool included can be used to modify tags in mp3 files, by using a CDDB server to get artist, album and tracks corresponding to the given mp3 files. Here are some examples of usage:

cddbtag file_01.mp3 file_02.mp3 ... file_n.mp3

Use the given files, in the given order, to build the discid, then query the CDDB server and, if information could be retrieved, set tags in the given .mp3 files.

cddbtag -t file_01.mp3 file_02.mp3 ... file_n.mp3

Same as above but run in test mode: it prints the information retrieved but does not write tags in the files.

cddbtag -s mycddbserver.org -p 4000 file_01.mp3 file_02.mp3 ... file_n.mp3

Here we specify a different CDDB server and port to connect to.

MP3::Tag is a Perl module for reading tags of MP3 audio files.

SYNOPSIS

use MP3::Tag;

$mp3 = MP3::Tag->new($filename);

# get some information about the file in the easiest way
($title, $track, $artist, $album, $comment, $year, $genre) = $mp3->autoinfo();
$comment = $mp3->comment();

# or have a closer look on the tags

# scan file for existing tags
$mp3->get_tags;

if (exists $mp3->{ID3v1}) {
# read some information from the tag
$id3v1 = $mp3->{ID3v1}; # $id3v1 is only a shortcut for $mp3->{ID3v1}
print $id3v1->title;

# change the tag contents
$id3v1->all("Song","Artist","Album",2001,"Comment",10,"Top 40");
$id3v1->write_tag;
}

if (exists $mp3->{ID3v2}) {
# read some information from the tag
($name, $info) = $mp3->{ID3v2}->get_frame("TIT2");
# delete the tag completely from the file
$mp3->{ID3v2}->remove_tag;
} else {
# create a new tag
$mp3->new_tag("ID3v2");
$mp3->{ID3v2}->add_frame("TALB", "Album title");
$mp3->{ID3v2}->write_tag;
}

$mp3->close();

Mp3 renamer 2006 by MiKe is a shell script for Linux. MP3 renamer goes by the Unix name of rename-mp3. It looks at MP3 files in a Directory and, using id3v2, will rename all the mp3 files in a nice format according to the id3 tags rename-mp3 will look at both v1 and v2 id3 tags, and will make the output file in a Title-Album-Artist.mp3 format.
It saves time, and not only will it read the id3 tags, but in the event that the MP3 file has no id3 tags, you will be given 4 options
1)abort 2)skip 3)rename 4)write id3 tags, and you are asked what you would like the id3 tag artist, track name and album to be.
This is great if you want the track to be easy to view and yet you still like having a library of music that is all tagged nicely!
Enhancements:
- New stuff: The INSTALLER now works, whereas before it wouldnt copy...

cdmp3 uses cdparanoia or cdda2wav to extract single tracks or even a whole CD and converts them on-the-fly into MP3 or Ogg Vorbis files. Using the CDDB database it is possible to include information like the artists name or the tracks title into the file name or as meta tags into the file content.
cdmp3 consists of a single perl script. Copy it to where ever you want it to reside, /usr/local/bin might be a good place. You might also want to create a symlink, named "cdogg", which points to cdmp3, so that by running cdogg, you preset cdmp3 to creating Ogg Vorbis files instead of MP3.
Additionally you will need the next packages, but this depends on the command line arguments you give to cdmp3:
cdparanoia http://www.xiph.org/paranoia/
cdda2wav ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/ (package cdrtools)
lame http://www.mp3dev.org/
oggenc http://www.vorbis.com (package vorbis-tools)
CDDB_get perl module http://armin.emx.at/cddb/
bfr http://www.glines.org:8000/software/buffer.html
If you are running Debian, all these packages are provided by the Debian
project itself or by third parties.
Enhancements:
- converted cdmp3 to perl
- merged get_cddb into cdmp3 main script
- added "--print-cddb": fetch and print cddb entry, exit
- added %y and %g filename format patterns
- support two-digit track numbers (%0n and %0u)
- patterns are really handled printf(1)-like now
- more flexible command line arguments

Dynamic MP3 Lister was a project I started a long time ago to create dynamic lists of MP3s quickly and easily.

Features MP3 Information extraction for things like bitrate, channels, playtime and more.

Please note that this script is discontinued, and is only shown here now as an example of my work.

Transcogg software is an Amarok script to shrink your files (MP3 or OGG) before copying them to your devices.

It reduces the quality of the tracks copied to the devices ( oggenc -q 0 )

You need a device that supports Ogg/Vorbis to benefit of this script.

You have to ask Amarok to convert file "if possible" if you want the OGG files to be reduced.

Feta Asset Tracking project efficiently tracks assets. Feta is a PHP/MySQL/PostgreSQL application for use in tracking inventory of computer hardware within a company for internal use.

I wrote Feta because SimpleAssets is too complex, and I dont need to manage Licencing, since I tend not to use non-free software. It basically keeps track of individual parts and systems, as allocated to user-definable storage areas or externally-deployed locations.

Since Ive not actually started using it, I have no sense of how useful the interface is or if it is lacking a needed feature.

Ive also modified Tiquit to allow assignment of systems to Tiquit users, so that you can view a users system specs from their incident.
